General venue info

Health & Safety

• No U16s are allowed on the hall floor during set up

• ALL EXHIBITORS must have read and have hard copy, or accessible hard copy of Emergency Procedures Manual: excel-24-emergency-procedures-brochures.pdf

Vehicle Access & Entry/Exit to Halls

• To bring your vehicles into the halls to unload, you will need to register for access through Excel’s ‘Voyage Control’ system which will open for Salute bookings 3 weeks before the show date.

• This is separate from parking.

• Codes and details for booking access via Voyage Control are detailed at bottom of this page.

• We are in the NORTH side halls, access to halls for vehicles is through the Excel Traffic Office, Sandstone Lane, E16 1FR via Royal Albert Way

• Map - https://www.excel.london/uploads/excel-24_campus-travel-map_sep24.jpg

• Vehicles can re enter from 16:00 but to queue in the adjacent hall - this will allow a faster break down after we close at 17:00.

• We marshal traffic in set up and break down, and run a one way system. This has proven to be the fastest way to achieve breakdown for all. 

• Please be patient and obey our marshal directions

• Pedestrian access is from the public boulevard via the Exhibitor Door for Hall S13. NO trolleys or super big bags allowed in that way.

Parking

• Pre-booking is the only way to guarantee a space in the car park at the venue. Book here. The Salute specific options will be up by March 24th

• The ‘Just Park’ app and website www.justpark.com and similar may offer alternative parking options.

• We have no say on distance from allocated parking to the show floor, be aware it can be  somewhat of a walk. 

• We don’t the control parking system - please refer all issues to Excel Parking.

Free Parking  for Clubs

• Clubs will be repaid the parking costs as post show expenses - we will email clubs separately on that (NO codes this year!).

• You MUST prebook and pay as normal for parking, and keep payment details. ]

Deliveries, Couriers, Freight Forwarding 

• Warlords will not sign for deliveries – you must be present.

• It follows that you can only book deliveries for between 1300-1630 on the Friday or 0700-0930 on the Saturday and only if you have staff on stand.

• Excel can provide a freight forwarding service (https://www.excel.london/faqs/logistics-services) but same limit on hours applies to that service 

Power

• There are no power sockets available in the show unless you specifically booked one.

WiFi

• EXCEL ADVICE:

  Although there is a free public Wi-Fi service venue-wide, this is only suitable for general browsing and email, but it is not designed for business-critical or high-bandwidth use.

• Phone and wifi signal has been generally been sufficient in the past for POS.

• However, Excel has a range of reliable, high-speed Wi-Fi options for your stand, with average upload and download speeds of up to 8 Mbps. For faster or more secure access, we recommend a hard-wired connection. You can purchase a Wi-Fi connection at Excel’s Webshop. See also technology FAQs).

Setup of Stands

• As described in booking manual the stands are not marked out on the floor

• The positioning of tables and the temporary walls show the stand positions

• Stand and games spaces will be labelled 

• On arrival and before set up ensure you have the right space and ideally engage with neighbours on boundaries.

• If you have surplus tables please fold and return to table stores in hall corners .

• If you are short of what requested, please obtain from corner table stores: trade stands may have no more than TWO tables per 6’ of stand width.

• We are flexible on set up within your area  but –especially for 6’ stands – please be aware of how customer circulation (with big back packs) may affect your neighbours.
